Description:
As of the March 2019 update release for Veritas Alta Archiving, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is now supported for use with Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) 3.0 and 4.0 for those Veritas Alta Archiving customers who:
- Enable Single Sign-On (SSO) based on ADFS 4.0
- Configure Veritas Alta Archiving web applications to be used with this type of SSO
Notes:
1. MFA is not supported for any of the synchronization tools, such as Folder Sync (FS), Cloudlink (CL) or Office 365 Sync (O365 sync), as these tools have no means of responding to the the additional authentication requests.
2. MFA must be configured through the Single Sign-On (SSO) provider used in the customer environment. Once configured there, Veritas Alta Archiving will use the SSO authentication to allow access.
